Another point about those who are so concerned about how tax cuts help the rich and help the poor is that they totally ignore income variation throughout a person's lifetime. Those who earn less money will likely not be earning less money in the future even without government intervention to "improve" their situation. They will earn more money by becoming better educated or better experienced with their job skills. People who argue about how the government should be trying to help the poor completely ignore that income over one's lifetime is not a static value. Indeed, by forcing taxes to be higher on higher incomes, the government is, in effect, contributing to making one's low income to be a static value by punishing them for earning a higher income in the future.
